WARNING!
– DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation
(SWL) of 159 kg (25 stone). Maximum patient
weight is 159 kg (25 stone).
– DO NOT attempt to transfer a patient
without approval of a Healthcare Professional.
Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner's
manual, observe a trained team of experts
performing the lifting procedures and then
perform the entire lift procedure several
times with proper supervision and a capable
individual acting as a patient. Training can be
provided. Contact your local Invacare office for
more information.
– DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not
properly connected to the attachment points
of the stand assist lift. Check that the sling is
properly connected to the attachment points
prior to lifting a patient. If any attachments
are not properly in place, correct the problem.
When the sling is elevated a few inches/cm off
the stationary surface and before moving the
patient, check again to make sure that all sling
attachments are secure. If any attachments are
not properly in place, lower the patient back
onto the stationary surface and correct this
problem - otherwise, injury or damage may
occur.

– Adjustments for safety and comfort should be
made before moving the patient. The patient's
arms should be outside the straps.
WARNING!
– Use the sling that is recommended by a
Healthcare Professional for the comfort and
safety of the individual that is being lifted.
– DO NOT lock the rear casters of the stand assist
lift when lifting an individual. Locking the rear
casters could cause the stand assist lift to tip
and endanger the patient and assistants.
– The legs of the stand assist lift MUST be in the
maximum open position for optimum stability
and safety. If the patient is in a sling and it
becomes necessary to move through a narrow
passage, close the legs of the stand assist lift
only as long as it takes to move through the
passage. When the stand assist lift is through
the passage, return the legs to the maximum
open position. If it is necessary to close the
legs to maneuver the stand assist lift under a
bed, close the legs only as long as it takes to
position the stand assist lift over the patient
and lift the patient off the surface of the bed.
When the legs of the stand assist lift are no
longer under the bed, return the legs to the
maximum open position.
– Be sure to check the sling attachments each
time the sling is removed and replaced to
